Set behind an established garden frontage on one of Castlemaine's most picturesque streets, this 1930s timber bungalow is rich with original character and resting on a remarkable deep allotment of approximately 1,013m2. The home offers an increasingly rare opportunity to restore, reimagine or redevelop (STCA) within a tightly held Doveton Street setting.
A traditional verandah entry opens to a wide central hallway, where generous proportions and period detail immediately reflect the home's enduring charm. At the front of the residence, the formal lounge retains its original fireplace and sense of warmth, complemented by air conditioning for year-round comfort. Three oversized bedrooms branch from the hall, with built-in robes fitted to the rear bedrooms.
Beyond the original front rooms, the home opens into a spacious rear living and dining area warmed by a wood fire, while the adjoining kitchen remains functional with a dishwasher and 900mm cooker. The bathroom, separate laundry and separate toilet complete the existing floorplan, offering comfortable foundations for those looking to undertake a thoughtful renovation over time.
Outside, the depth of the block is immediately impressive. Established trees frame the expansive backyard, creating a sense of privacy and space rarely found so close to the town centre. A garage and carport provide practical vehicle accommodation, while the substantial dimensions of approximately 20.3m x 50.3m open the door to exciting future possibilities, including renovation, extension or subdivision potential (STCA).
Comfortable as is yet undeniably ripe for transformation, this character-filled bungalow presents an exceptional opportunity to breathe new life into a genuine piece of Castlemaine history.
